Distribution of 3G Base Stations on Passive Optical Network Architecture

Abstract

Combining Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) architecture with Radio over Fibre (RoF) technology could be a cost-efficient and attractive solution for operators for the distribution of 3G Base Stations (BS). We have implemented a PON delivering 2 BS with WDM lasers at Remote Base Station (RBS) and a single photodiode at the Central Office (CO). An experimental study of this architecture for two BS has been performed and successful transmission has been shown for both uplink and downlink transmission. These results have been used to demonstrate the feasibility of distributing 12 3G BS over a 20km link on a GPON architecture. Index Terms -Radio over Fibre (RoF), Passive Optical Network (PON), 3G.

Hybrid wavelength division multiplexing/time domain multiplexed (WDM/TDM) using radio over fiber technique with 16QAM at 2.5 Gbps

“…Architecture which is discussed in the Gigabit-PON (GPON) is a preferred type of PON network to send high data rates with high frequencies which has been standardized under the ITU-T G.984 recommendation (ITU-T Recommendation G. 984,2008). Figure 1 shows the hybrid WDM/TDM-system as modeled typically consists of three parts: transmitter, optical line terminal (OLT), fiber optic link (single mode fiber), receiver (Bras and Moignard, 2006;Talli and Townsend, 2006). The signal goes from the transmitter with multi wavelengths to the receiver, and these wavelengths are distributed among end users by using time slot splitter devices.…”

The Characterization of Radio-over-Fiber EmployedGPON Architecture for Wireless Distribution Network

“…The works on the distribution of the mobile 3G on GPON have been done in [10] [11] with limited number of ONU due to the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) channel limitation. In [13], the integration of wireline and wireless services has been proposed but only concentrating on a single network connection.…”
